Respuesta :

left equatoin seems to be x is less than or equal to -1
the slope seems to be 2 and y intercep tis -1 so 2x-1


right equation is x is greater than or equal to 1
slope is 1 and y intercept is 4 so x+4




top left blank is x+4, top right blank is x is greater than or equal to 1
bottom left blank is 2x-1, bottom right blank is x is less than or equal to -1

Answer:

Hence, we have:

        f(x)= 2x-1   when  x ≤ -1

                x+4    when  x ≥ 1

Step-by-step explanation:

  • After looking at the graph we observe that in the region:  x ≤ -1

The graph is a straight line that passes through (-1,-3) and (-2,-5)

Hence, the equation of line is:

[tex]f(x)-(-3)=\dfrac{-5-(-3)}{-2-(-1)}\times (x-(-1))\\\\\\f(x)+3=\dfrac{-5+3}{-2+1}\times (x+1)\\\\\\f(x)+3=2(x+1)\\\\\\f(x)=2x+2-3\\\\\\f(x)=2x-1[/tex]

  • Also, in the interval  x ≥ 1

The graph is a straight line that passes through (1,5) and (2,6)

Hence, the equation of line is:

 [tex]f(x)-5=\dfrac{6-5}{2-1}\times (x-1)\\\\\\f(x)-5=x-1\\\\\\f(x)=x-1+5\\\\\\f(x)=x+4[/tex]
